'A Dog's Life' was originally published as part of the collection, 'Liberty Short Collection Vol.1'. The story was subsequently published stand-alone. This 2nd edition of the story has been thoroughly edited and re-covered. Orion is an escort at the pinnacle of his career. He meets Stephen, who has also scaled the heights, during a weekend in Nice. Both are accompanying clients who have serious business and pleasure on their minds. What should have been a pleasant weekend involving some shopping, undemanding sex and a timely kick-start to the tan, turns tail and bites Orion, seeking to remind him that it never pays to get too friendly with the client. Orion bails on Nice and heads back to London; Stephen follows. Over the past ten years, both have lost themselves and Orion decides it's time to give up the well paid game. Stephen begins to pursue his dream of directing films. They start to shed the facades and begin to enjoy sex, this time without the pay-off. I really hope you enjoy the story.
